"...the 90-year-old man who died yesterday has another anecdote. In the 70s, Otai Albrecht was kidnapped and extorted 700 million German marks. After paying the ransom, this The head of the Aldi Group applied to the relevant German authorities to pay the 700 million Deutsche Marks as a ransom, which should be recorded as a non-operating loss in finance, so as to reduce or exempt the tax of the year, but was rejected by the German tax authorities..."

Chen Zhuo, who was listening to the news and practicing his listening while brushing his teeth, was about to be amused. Is this true or a joke?I walked out of the bathroom of the suite to watch the TV. That's right, it was the "Morning Broadcast" program of the German national TV station. It was not a report from a small TV station, and it would not be fake news.

"...Otai Albrecht brought the German tax authorities to court for this. The sensation and influence of this lawsuit even surpassed the case of the kidnapping of a German rich man. About half a year later, the police solved the case and made it public. The criminal suspect was captured, and the criminal was planned and organized by Otai Albrecht's lawyer..."

Looking at the constantly switching data shots on the TV screen, Chen Zhuo brushed his teeth carefully while sighing in his heart, this rich man really has a lot of troubles, unexpectedly his own lawyer is unreliable! In the 70s, what should be the order of 700 million marks? I don’t know. It should be quite rich. At that time, China was still very poor...

The music on the mobile phone rang, Chen Zhuo hurriedly rinsed his mouth, wiped his face with a towel and walked towards the bed.

"Hey, Heidi, it's so early, did you rest well?" Chen Zhuo asked with concern.

"Fortunately, I thought you were still sleeping." Heidi said without too much greeting, "Patton, come out, the car that picked you up has already arrived at the door of your residence..."

Chen Zhuo said: "Yeah, okay, I'll be fine soon."

There are only two suits in the closet, one is dark gray and the other is light gray. For a funeral, it seems that a black suit is better, but for now, let's just stick to dark gray!The tie is only blue and red...

A blue tie was tied on the white shirt, a dark gray suit was put on, the black socks were worn, and the black leather shoes that were seldom worn, the mobile phone... the wallet... I don't know if there are any at the funeral of the foreigner" Follow the rule, otherwise buy a bouquet of flowers near them...

After getting dressed quickly and walking out of the room, Rebecca looked at him strangely, and Chen Zhuo said apologetically, "Sorry, Rebecca, Heidi's relatives passed away, I'm going to offer my condolences, morning exercises and breakfast are too late... "

Rebecca looked at Chen Zhuo suspiciously, then looked at the TV, and asked, "Heidi? Oh, by the way, Patton, Heidi seems to be surnamed Albrecht too..."

"What Alpha Beta?" Chen Zhuo looked at Rebecca and then at the TV. Why was he still the old man who wanted to deduct the ransom money from taxes? What was his surname? ...

He hurriedly greeted Rebecca and walked out of the gate of the villa. A black Mercedes-Benz was parked at the gate. A middle-aged man in a black suit opened the door and said, "Hello, please get in the car. I'm Miss Heidi. personal lawyer..."

lawyer? my-god, that old gentleman was kidnapped by his lawyer!Hehe, of course, you can't stop hiring a lawyer because of this... Private lawyers, Heidi also has a private lawyer, oh, just now Rebecca meant to ask, does Heidi have something to do with that old man on TV, oh, that The old man seems to have passed away yesterday, at the age of 90.

The driver drove the car without looking at him, and the lawyer introduced himself when he helped Chen Zhuo open the car door, let Chen Zhuo sit in the back seat, and he didn't speak again after he sat down in the co-pilot.

Chen Zhuo didn't ask too much, he was still thinking about the relationship between this morning's news and Heidi in his heart. Heidi was only 22 years old, and this old man was 90 years old. His father must be impossible, grandpa?It seems that grandpa's age is a bit old. Grandpa's father, um, married and had children according to his age... grandpa?It should be "great-grandfather"!Grandfather's father!

I took out my mobile phone and browsed the news on the Internet. The headlines on the front pages of major websites today seem to be all photos of this old man. It seems that this old man is very famous in Germany!

"Germany's Richest Man Otai Albrecht Passed Away", huh?The richest man in Germany?

Could it be that Heidi is a descendant of the richest man in Germany?

Otai Albrecht, 88, tops the German rich list, followed by his older brother Karl Albrecht, 90, in second.

Not only is Germany the richest man in personal assets, but the Albrecht family is also the richest family in Germany. The Kwant family, which owns 51% of BMW, is still behind them. behind them...

On the personal wealth list, behind two 90-year-old octogenarians, Johanna of the No. 5 Kwant family on the German rich list is also 88 years old, and Augusto von Funk, who ranks ninth on the German rich list, is a young man with a long life Yes, he is also 81 years old.

Four of the top ten richest people are over 80 years old. This should be the "German Longevity Rich List"!

The four tycoons have one thing in common. They all started in the "German Miracle" after World War II. The similarity between the "German Miracle" and the "Japanese Miracle" in Asia lies in the need to contain the Soviet Union during the Cold War. , It is the big historical background and reason to carry out economic construction with Germany and Japan as bridgeheads in the east and west.

Chen Zhuo is not familiar with any of the names of these old Germans, but Chen Zhuo is no stranger to the property they own.

The 81-year-old Augusto von Funk's industries are Allianz Insurance and Merck Private Bank opened in Switzerland, worth approximately US$78 billion.

The 88-year-old Johanna’s Kovant family owns 51% of the BMW Group’s shares. Among them, Johanna Kovante, her son Steffen Covante, and her daughter Susan Klatten own 46.7% of the shares. %, Johanna ranked fifth in the German rich list with 16.7% of the shares, and her son Steffen Kwant ranked fourth in the German rich list with 17.4% of the shares. Although her daughter Susan Klatten only owns 12.6% of the BMW Group However, since Susan Klatten inherited her husband's Altana Chemical Group, she surpassed her younger brother and mother in terms of total assets, ranking third on the list of the richest people in Germany.

Johanna Kwant, her son Steffen Kwant, and daughter Susan Klatten of the Kwant family have a total assets of about 390 billion U.S. dollars, if Susan Kola is not counted Teng together with Altana Chemical Group's 170 billion US dollars, then the combined assets of Johanna Kwant and her son Steffen Kwant are not as much as the personal assets of the second-ranked Karl Albrecht , Karl Albrecht's personal assets are 254 billion US dollars.

The enterprise jointly founded by the Albrecht brothers is a supermarket called "Aldi". The German is "aldi", "al" is the first two letters of the two brothers' surnames, "di" is "discount store", "Convenience store" even means "store store", in a word, it is a store selling cheap goods, and the Germans collectively refer to Aldi as "poor shop".

The Albrecht brothers both participated in World War II. The elder brother was born in 19 and joined the German Wehrmacht. The younger brother was born in 1922 and joined the Luftwaffe ground support. Later, both were captured by the U.S. Army. After the war, the two of them returned to their hometown of Egypt. Mori helped his mother manage the "Al's Taxi Store". With the hard work of the two brothers, in 1962, the two brothers opened the first cheap shop in Dortmund under the name "Al's Taxi Store". supermarket.

Aldi's service targets are mainly low- and middle-income wage earners, residents without fixed income and retired elderly people, in order to meet the needs of these people.Most of Aldi's chain points are located in downtown residential areas and various small towns, so that it is very convenient for low-income people, the elderly and housewives to purchase.

In addition, Aldi also pays special attention to the needs of college students and foreign workers. Every city with a university has many students, and almost every city has more than 10% of foreign workers. These people usually eat convenience food. , so there are often Aldi branches near college student dormitories and foreign worker residences.

After the 70s, the proportion of the aging population in Europe increased day by day. By the beginning of the 21st century, the proportion of the elderly population in Europe had reached 25%, and it was close to 8000% in Germany. Aldi's "cheap stores" greatly satisfied the shopping convenience of these people. At present, Germany with a population of 3600 million already has more than 2 Aldi stores, and there is one in an area with an average population of more than [-]...

In terms of business positioning, Aldi also distinguishes itself from Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Compared with the tens of thousands of products of the previous two retail giants, Aldi only chooses 700 types of products, each of which will be tested by experts and given Opinions, and to ensure that these products have the best cost-effectiveness. If quality problems and prices are inflated, once they are eliminated, there will be no chance of cooperation.

Strict screening also ensures credibility. At present, 8000% of the 75 million Germans have shopped at Aldi more than twice, and 00 million of them only shop at Aldi. Another data is that electronic products are sold at Aldi. The proportion of sales continues to increase. According to data, 60% of Germans buy their computers from Aldi. The data is terrifying.

With the development of the business, the two brothers gradually withdrew from daily operations, especially after the kidnapping of their younger brother Outai in the mid-70s, the two brothers gradually faded out of people's sight, and their family members were also very low-key and cautious...
